One August Night by Victoria Hislop is a compelling sequel to her bestselling novel The Island. Set in 1957 Crete, the story begins as the leper colony on Spinalonga is finally disbanded. The joyous celebration in Plaka is abruptly shattered by a violent, tragic event that splinters two families and tests their capacity for forgiveness and resilience.
25th August 1957. The island of Spinalonga closes its leper colony. And a moment of violence has devastating consequences.
When time stops dead for Maria Petrakis and her sister, Anna, two families splinter apart and, for the people of Plaka, the closure of Spinalonga is forever coloured with tragedy.
In the aftermath, the question of how to resume life looms large. Stigma and scandal need to be confronted and somehow, for those impacted, a future built from the ruins of the past.
Number one bestselling author Victoria Hislop returns to the world and characters she created in The Island – the award-winning novel that remains one of the biggest selling reading group novels of the century. It is finally time to be reunited with Anna, Maria, Manolis and Andreas in the weeks leading up to the evacuation of the island… and beyond.
